From the ashes Of the Douglas R0udy
Vest rises the Glenrock Graphic, a some
what less gaudy publication, which is
printed il a little town about thirty miles
from Douglas. Politically the Graphic
will be independent, it claims, for the
very good and sufficient reason that THE
editor does not belong to and never has
been a member of any political party OF
clique, which is somewhat remarkable
considering that the aforesaid editor halls
from Iowa. However we welcome the
resurrected Ropdy in the guise of the
Graphic to the territorial journalistic fold
and wish it long life aud prosperity.

Tho Beginning of Calico.

Herodotus mentions cotton fabrics 45C
B. c., and speaks of trees in India "bear,
ing as their fruit heeces more delicate
and beautiful than those of sheep" The
cotton fabrics of the Hindoos have been
excelled in firmness and excellence only
by tho productions of the most perfect
machines of modern times. The city OF
Calicut, on the western coast, gave its
MANS to the fabric known as calico,

THI Vanderbilt name is no l.

THI Vanderbilt name is no longer
heard in Wall street at all, or il at all,
only incidentally. 1t no longer has any
influence whatever on the general course
Of events in that quarter. THIS is II mar
Velous change from the IN when that
name had power to move Wall street
from end to end. The present Wander
bilts have 10 taste, to speak Of, for specu-
lation. William X. showed a good deal
at one time, but a squeezing he got cured
him pretty thoroughly, and as he now has
all the money he can spend, thanks to his
fathers will, he does not care to bother
about making more, but takes all the
pleasure he can find instead. Cornelius,
the head of the family, is ~methodical
and quiet. Wall street never sees him.
He gives all his time to the affairs OF the
Central railroad, without reference to the
stock market, and the religious and phil.
anthropist societies with which he is con-
nected.

No Inspiration of tn. Bottle.

In a conversation with Read, " said
Mr.. Grafton to the writer, II once vent
ured to say, Read. did you take nothing
but a pot of black tea into your room
when you invoked the muse for ''Sheri-
dams Rider To my surprise, in a most
liacid. unexpected manner, he said: i
took nothing else but hat. Let me con-
fcss to you a fact: l can do nothing with
the pen unless l am clear headed. l
know, he continued, that poem, with its
faults, came from no inspiration of the
bottle. l would like, however, to have
corrected some of those faults. but Bavard
Taylor advised me not to allow the least
change or emendation, but to let it stand
as written The wisdom of this advice
insured its acceptance, and, if l mistake
not, it now stands word for word as the
muse gave it, nothing to add or subtract.
Mr.. Read also said this to me: They
may talk what they choose about Byron,
Burns, Poo and others writing SO finely
under the influence Of drink, but l don't
believe a word of it. II the tongue does

of muscle is attributed to her persistent

1T is interesting to Dote the progress or
the railroads in the state of Wisconsin.
At the close of the year 1850 there were
10 miles of completed road-from Mil
waukee to Elm Grove. At the close OF
the wear 1860 there were but S75 miles
of railroad within our limits. During the
time of the war of the rebellion. and the
depression Immediately following, there
was but little of railway building done.
In 1861 90 miles, in 1862 56 miles, in
1868 none, in 1864 70 miles. and during
the years 1865, 1866 and 1867, not a
mile of track was laid in the state. After
the war was over and the business of the
country had recovered from the conse-
uuent continued depression and stagna-
ton, railroad building and railroad
development began forward march, and
have even kept steady pace With the
other great industries of the state. To-
day the total number of miles of railroad
in the state is Ats 90, constructed at a
cost of $1S4,913, 500 or. The average
cost per mile was $40, 259 80, which in-
cludes equipments, buildings and depot
grounds.

At the WATERFOWL Farmers Institute
Prof. Roberts spoke while of the neces>
sity of having warm and handy barns,
especially for the dairyman. He said
that while we had made great advances,
the farm harms had not progressed as
much as other farm buildings. We, as
rule, do about twice too much labor; we
build too many little buildings and so
multiply the labors of caring for our
stock. He would build large barn out
of the little buildings. so far as he could
utilize them. The animals ought to have
more and better attention-should be
kept warmer 1t never paid to warm
barn-yards with cattle. With warm barns
the fond will cost less money. We ought
| to feed our stock more of the cheap foods.
| like bran and shorts and cottonseed meal,
| to mix with the oats aud coru we raise.
We cannot afford to feed an animal in
the winter, unless it is growing, or earn
ing money at work, at milk-giving. or in
some other form or way. To atint 40
animals growth, or capacity to bear
| young or give milk, to carry over their
frames to time when we think food will
| not cost SO much as now, is very poor
economy, and gives US the half-starved
COW in the spring to make the low aver

known to make 1t is a waste of time
aud money for disgraceful result. Suf
tering cold means slow death, warmth
means life; and profit comes from know
ing this and governing ones business
accordingly. .
La answer to query the professor saiC
he was a warm advocate of drawing
manure from the stables as fast as made
but never on plowed land. 1t should bt
put where there is a plant to be benefited
or on land that is to be plowed before
another crop Is to be produced. He woult
SOW rye on the corn field SO that it woult
be ready to spring up as soon as the corr
is cut from the roots. Then you car

from escaping. If there is no plant Oh

FEEE TRADE AND THE
FARMER.

Elk Congressman Frank Hurd, of Ohio,
Yesterday delivered himself of some more
free-trade nonsense before the New Jer-
sew State Beard of Agriculture. lie said
protection was never invoked for the
benefit of the farmer, who was always
loser and not a gamer by its operation.
He admitted that tariff was probably
beneficial to the sugar and rice industries,
but denied that the duty on wool was
benefit to the farmer. Mr.. Hurd made the
latter proposition as clear as daylight by
SAYING that as the farmer exchanges 900
bushels of wheat for 1000 yarGs of cloth
in Liverpool the duty of 30 per cent. on
cloth in America causes him less of half
its value.
Mr.. Hurd forgets, however, or does not
know, that thesAmerican farmer can dis
pose of only small part of his wheat
abroad. The total wheat crop OF the
United States ia 1880 was ass, AIS. 300
bushels, of which s19O.000,0 900 was ex-
ported. For the years since that time our
wheat crop has constantly increased,
while the amount sold in foreign markets
has steadily diminished Ia 1884 the
value of cur wheat. exported was only
$4,000, 900, and in 13S5.it fell to $72,.
900 900, or probably not much more than
one eighth of the entire crop of the
country.
The home market is what the Amer
can farmer must depeud upon for tht
sale Of nine-tepths of the products OF hi
farm, and just to the extent that manu-
featuring industries are multiplied ant
developed and the great army of con.
sumers increased, the American farme
will have an improved market for hi
crops. The advantages of getting hi
clothing a little cheaper under a FIRE
trade system, and having the market 70
the bulk of his products destroyed, vii
probably be more apparent to Mr.. Hur
than to the average American farmer.
Besides, Mr. Hurd's assertion that th
duty of so per cent. on imported clot
makes American cloth cost so per cen
more is faIlacy and absurdity. 1t is
